Dartmouth-led team devises new technique to probe ‘noise’ in quantum computing

Posted by in categories: computing, quantum physics

Fine tuning QC.


HANOVER, N.H. — Dartmouth College and Griffith University researchers have devised a new way to “sense” and control external noise in quantum computing.

Quantum computing may revolutionize information processing by providing a means to solve problems too complex for traditional computers, with applications in code breaking, materials science and physics, but figuring out how to engineer such a machine remains elusive.

Black Hole ‘Firewalls’ Pits Einstein’s Theory Against Quantum Mechanics

Posted by in categories: cosmology, quantum physics

When Black Hole Firewalls pit theory of relativity against Quantum Mechanics.


A worldwide study reconciles the theory of black hole “firewalls,” which pits the two theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics against one another.

Artificial Intelligence’s Ultimate Challenge? Cyber Attacks

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, information science, quantum physics, robotics/AI

AI is hackable as long as it’s underpinning technology is still supported on legacy platform technology and connected to a legacy infrastructure. Only when the underpinning technology & net infrastructure is updated to Quantum will we see a secured AI environment.


At MIT, machine learning specialists are training deep learning algorithms to spot cyber attacks. It may be AI’s ultimate test.

When Artificial Intelligence Started To ‘Change The World’

Posted by in categories: business, computing, quantum physics, robotics/AI

AI has been around for over 50 years. So, no it is not new technology. However, what is new is the various breeds of AI. Online bot technology is where folks can expect a larger immediate return. physical Robotics is still not going to deliver at the level that the consumers and various businesses require for adoption on a massive scale. Again, quantum and bio-computing will improve robotics as well as other areas of AI.


The history of technology, whether of the last five or five hundred years, is often told as a series of pivotal events or the actions of larger-than-life individuals, of endless “revolutions” and “disruptive” innovations that “change everything.” It is history as hype, offering a distorted view of the past, sometimes through the tinted lenses of contemporary fads and preoccupations.

In contrast, ENIAC in Action: Making and Remaking the Modern Computer, is a nuanced, engaging and thoroughly researched account of the early days of computers, the people who built and operated them, and their old and new applications. Say the authors, Thomas Haigh, Mark Priestley and Crispin Rope:

How Quantum Physics Starts With Your Toaster

Posted by in category: quantum physics

Hmmm; nice attempt. However, not the author’s example was the best one to explain Quantum.


The common perception is that quantum mechanics only really matter for exotic physics experiments, but every time you wait impatiently for your breakfast to cook, you’re staring at the place where it all began.

Quantum computing closer as researchers drive towards first quantum data bus

Posted by in categories: computing, nanotechnology, quantum physics

Australia’s Quantum Data Bus; nice. We’re getting closer and within the next 7 years we will more than likely have quantum in mainstream computing at this rate.


RMIT University researchers have trialled a quantum processor capable of routing quantum information from different locations in a critical breakthrough for quantum computing.

The work opens a pathway towards the “quantum data bus”, a vital component of future quantum technologies.

Will Quantum Encryption Arrive Before Quantum Computers Break All Our Passwords?

Posted by in categories: computing, encryption, engineering, quantum physics

Australia is making great strides in this area as well.


Scientists are racing to deploy foolproof quantum encryption before quantum computers come along that render all our passwords useless.

Passwords work today because the computers we have, while theoretically capable of breaking passwords, would take an impractical amount of time to do so.

New hope for thousands as gene manipulation RESTORES eyesight to the blind

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, quantum physics

I was asked recently if I had money given to me to invest in anything that would result in the betterment of people what would that be. I quickly shared “Gene Editing” such as CRISPR and Quantum. These 2 areas is changing our lives over the next 7 to 10 years in ways that we have only dreamed about. I love this article.


TENS of thousands of blind people could have their sight restored after scientists discovered how to manipulate genes at the back of the eyes.

Trudeau stuns with perfect answer to quantum computing question

Posted by in categories: computing, quantum physics

Breaking the stereotype stigma; great article on CAN PM. I love it when folks break the boundaries and stereotypes that society often places on groups.


Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau proved he’s more than just a pretty face when he wowed a room full of reporters and physicists with his knowledge of quantum computing.

The dashing politician was delivering his budget announcement at a press conference at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics Waterloo in Ontario, when he was put on the spot by a journalist.
